Meaning of the English name “Villa Castanea”. Castanea:The linden tree (known as the chestnut tree in Chinese, and also called Puti puti in the south) is said to have been planted in large beer manors in Germany in the 16th century. Castanea trees are big and wide, they can use their branches and thick leaves to provide shades and keep temperature for beer cellar, so it is meaningful to build a beer cellar underground; at the same time, the trunk of the Castanea trees is suitable for making beer barrels for storage of beer. After hundreds of years, the Castanea tree has now become an indispensable part of the German beer culture and has evolved into an important symbol of German beer culture. There are 34 Castanea trees in total planted in the Villa Castanea. They bloom and yield fruit every year, growing taller and more prosperous.
